Tardebigge Tunnel North Emergency Access
Tardebigge Tunnel North Emergency Access is on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction).
Early plans for the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Exeter and Guildford were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Hunter was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Bolton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Longbury to Polechester. Expectations for coal traffic to Doncaster never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) was closed in 1888 when Southstone Tunnel collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Wright painted a mural of Slough Cutting on the side of Peter Edwards's house for a bet.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).
